The Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has recorded a 100 percent success in the accreditation of its courses by the National Universities Commission (NUC), as the commission accredited 31 academic programmes presented by the university.
Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. R.O. Rom Kalilu, gave this indication in a letter addressed to the governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, who is the visitor and proprietor of the institution through the institution’s pro-chancellor and chairman of the governing council, Prof. Deji Omole.
He commended the governor for his magnanimity and strong support towards the institution, which he noted, ensured the success of the accreditation.
According to the VC, in a letter dated 26th July 2024, the accredited programmes were presented to the NUC between October and December 2023, with the results released this month.
He added that 13 of the university’s new academic programmes that were granted initial approval in 2022 are also due for NUC accreditation between October and December 2024.
The letter read in part: “The University made one hundred percent success without any denial to continue to run any of those academic programmes assessed and accredited.
Quality-wise, twenty-nine (29) or 93.5 percent of the programmes have full accreditation while two (2) or 6.5 percent have interim accreditation.
“The university is very proud and grateful to you for your magnanimity through diverse support that enabled the outstanding success of the University.”
